Change of Perspective 2: Voluntourism – Helping or Hurting? 🌍🤔

Episode 2: Voluntourism – Helping or Hurting? 🌍🤔 Many young Europeans travel to the EU’s external borders or the Global South to volunteer, hoping to make a difference. But what impact does voluntourism really have? Is it truly helping, or does it reinforce harmful power dynamics? In this episode of Change of Perspective, we explore the fine line between genuine aid and performative action. We listen to different perspectives, including voices from those directly affected by international volunteering. How do they perceive these volunteers? What are the unintended consequences of short-term help? Join us as we unpack the reality of voluntourism and question who truly benefits. 🎙️ #ChangeOfPerspective #Voluntourism #Podcast #Brückenwind
